The lost (collaxa) BPEL-tutorials: 101.HelloWorld

There are many people who want to get used to BPEL in particular to Oracle BPEL PM. Now if you search the ORACLE_HOME of your Oracle Application Server 10g, you will find the following diretory:

/opt/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/samples/tutorials

In this directory there are many samples like 101.HelloWorld. The samples were built as the BPEL engine was not yet bought from Oracle. And this is the problem of this samples. You can not find any document, where these are described. I only found this reference:BPEL4WS 101 Tutorial. Learn BPEL through an example

So i think, it would be helpful, if i explain some of the tutorials here on my blog....Let's start with this 101.HelloWorld:
